'''Talking Pokémon''' are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who can speak a human language. The human language itself is not clearly depicted, and all people in the [[Pokémon world]] seem to speak one common language, which is always referred to just as ''human language'' (however, since [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Generation IV]], it is possible to collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]], and there are NPCs who speak foreign languages). While it appears that all Pokémon can understand human speech, very few can communicate with humans, except via body language. There are exceptions to this, however, depending on the version of the Pokémon world being depicted.

===Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness===
Prior to the events of {{Pokémon XD}}, [[Dr. Kaminko]] developed a device that was meant to translate a Pokémon's speech, but it failed and was scrapped. A major post-game quest details the {{player}}'s efforts to undo its effects when it is accidentally released by [[Chobin]] and causes Pokémon around [[Orre]] to lose their voice.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Mystery Dungeon games]], all Pokémon can talk. This includes the player, who was transformed into a Pokémon. However, since there are no human characters in the Mystery Dungeon games, it is entirely possible that these Pokémon are not, in fact, speaking human language, but rather their own Pokémon language, which the player can now understand as a result of becoming a Pokémon themselves.

===PokéPark series===
In the PokéPark games, all Pokémon can talk. However, like in the Mystery Dungeon games, there are no human characters in the game, suggesting that the Pokémon are simply speaking Pokémon language in between each other, which the player character is able to understand due to being a Pokémon as well. This is further supported by all the Pokémon having their voices from the anime and their speech only appearing in text boxes.

In {{ga|Detective Pikachu}}, the player character, [[Tim Goodman]], is partners with a talking {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|character}}. However, only the player seems to be able to hear Pikachu's talking voice. In addition, the game also features a {{p|Mewtwo}}, which is able to talk via telepathy.
===Detetive Pikachu series===
In {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|video game}}, the player character, [[Tim Goodman]], is partners with a talking {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|character}}. However, only the player seems to be able to hear Pikachu's talking voice. In addition, the game also features a {{OBP|Mewtwo|Detective Pikachu}}, which is able to talk via telepathy. In the sequel game, [[Detective Pikachu Returns]], Pokémon speech can also be understood via subtitles when heard from Pikachu's perspective. In addition, during the game's climax, [[Charles Merloch]] is able to speak when he fuses his mind with the body of a {{p|Deoxys}}.


===Pokémon Masters EX===
In {{g|Masters EX}}, {{mas|Leon}}'s {{form|Calyrex|Ice Rider}} {{p|Calyrex}} briefly takes over {{mas|Sawyer}}'s body during the [[Winter Wishes]] [[story event]] to talk to Leon through him.
